摘要:
A cathode ray tube is provided on the exterior of its screen (12) with a layer (20) of a polymeric piezoelectric material, e.g. polyvinylidene fluoride. Localized pressure (or heating) on the layer (20) creates a charged region (28) which produces alteration of the beam current when the beam scans over said region. This alteration is detected, as by sensing loop (24), to produce a data input.
摘要:
The sensor has two sheets (18, 20) of polarized polymeric piezoelectric material secured together with their main uniaxial mode aligned with axis (16). These are connected to an electric oscillator to induce mechanical oscillation of the assembly (10). A third sheet (22) of like material is secured to the sheets (18, 20) but has its main uniaxial mode transverse to the axis (16). Twisting of the assembly due to rotational acceleration causes substantial alteration of the voltage induced in the third sheet (22), the voltage being proportional to the rate of rotational acceleration.
摘要:
An elongate film (32) of polyvinylidene fluoride or other polymeric piezoelectric material is provided on one face with an electrode (34) extending along approximately one-half the length of the film, and on the other face with a metallised screen layer (36) extending along the whole length. The film (32) is folded about the line M-M with the screen layer (36) to the exterior and inserted in a pocket-like cover (28) for securement to the instrument, for example by adhesive tape.

摘要:
The microphone comprises one or more strips (30) of a piezoelectric sheet material secured to the surface of the cymbal (10), each strip having metallised electrodes on its opposed surfaces. The strips are disposed radially of the cymbal. The preferred material is polyvinylidene fluoride in polarized form, the axis of the main uniaxial mode of the material being transverse to the longitudinal axes of the strips. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 1), a single radial strip (16) is used in combination with a circumferential strip (18).
摘要:
The apparatus makes use of a transducer (10) comprising a polymeric piezoelectric film (12) having electrodes (20, 22) and secured by adhesive (14) to a rigid plate (16) which in turn is mounted on a resilient, yielding support (18). The object to be assessed (26) is caused to impact on the transducer (10) to cause an electrical output from the film (12). The rigid plate (16) is chosen to have a mass which is small in relation to that of the object (26) and of a material which is non-resonant under the impact, and the support (18) is such that the film (12), the plate (16) and the object (26) move in contact during the impact. This arrangement has the result that the output signal from the film (12) represents the resonance of the object due to the impact, which can be used as a measure of the firmness of the object. The invention is particularly applicable to measuring the ripeness of fruit.
摘要:
An object (22) is assessed in relation to a factor related to its silhouette (for example area) by being positioned adjacent a sheet (10) of a material having pyroelectric properties, such as polyvinylidene fluoride. The object (22) and sheet (10) are exposed to a source of radiant heat, such as a flash tube (16) to induce an electric chsrge in the sheet (10) of an amplitude related to the area of the sheet (10) obscured by the object (22). Other embodiments are described suitable for the assessment of other factors, such as shape and orientation.
